#### 14.3.1 Deciding whether to produce a table of contents

By default, DITA2Go produces a table of contents from a DITA bookmap or a ditamap file, following DITA rules. For HTML output, DITA2Go creates a separate file for the TOC. To keep the TOC with any material that precedes it in output, see §27.2.3 Providing a page break between title and TOC. For RTF output, the TOC does not become a separate file.

To prevent DITA2Go from generating a table of contents:

    [Contents]
    ; GenerateTOC = Yes (default) or No (omit TOC)
    GenerateTOC = No

When GenerateTOC=Yes, DITA2Go creates a table of contents from the topic titles in your DITA source. However, if you are producing a Help system such as HTML Help or Oracle Help for Java, a table of contents is produced automatically.by the Help system tool; so for Help systems you do not really need another, unless you intend to use it as the default start page of your output.

When GenerateTOC=No, DITA2Go does not create a table of contents.
